Bill Elliott for Bush....just wish they were coming to a town near me.

Anyone have the schedule for 10/20?

[Timeout]

I'm nowhere near any of these events. But I'd be glad to break out that schedule by state if you think a lot of people will be interested.

[Timeout]

The 10/20 schedule is there.

Look in post #1, second set of ******.

[cjshapi]

Thanks. I got so excited my eyes crossed....plus I'm not supposed to be freeping at work.

[arichtaxpayer]

Not your typical Hollywood bunch. These folks have their head screwed on straight.

[Moose4]

Boogity boogity boogity.

I honestly don't know a single NASCAR far who is voting for Kerry. If they get energized to vote then look out. There are a lot of them in these swing states.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Strange that there is no one from the Hendrick group.

[Josh in PA]

I'm trying to figure out how I can goto this.

I'm about 20-25 minutes away from there where I work in Willliamsport.

I have an hour lunch.. It'll be cutting it tight getting there, and I couldn't stay long...

Actually, the Montoursville visit at 1:15 would work better.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Check that. The GREAT Terry Labonte is for Bush.

[KJacob]

Yeah I noticed that Jeff Gordon is the only top 10 driver not to endorse Bush. Good that Jimmy Johnson has.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Opps. And Jimmy Johnson is listed. [I have a cold and am not hearing or seeing well.]

[zygoat]

It says that Johnson endorses Dubya. Gordo is the odd man out.

[pabianice]

Nice, but Bush already has the NASCAR vote. Wouldn't he be better advised to tour swing states?

[Fierce Allegiance]

ping

[glock rocks]

Would one of you please ping the gang? TIA!

BUMP!!

[KJacob]

Nice, but Bush already has the NASCAR vote

Sure most NASCAR fans support him. This is important to make sure they actually make it to the polls.

[Russ]

With all the NASCAR fans who hate #24 it would help Bush if Gordon came out for Kerry.
